Oh good, a letter from the landlord telling us she is not letting us out of the lease and if she cannot find someone, she will be coming after us for the rent.

It's on like Donkey Kong.

Pictures and video galore of these living conditions. Bring it on.

Evidence includes:
Several videos of the dogs going nuts and them screaming.
Pics of the holes...

artfulodin:
the roofing mess outside your only entrance ought to be enough right there.

Also, don't know about Conn, but here in Mass. the rules / laws / everything are severely stacked towards the renter and not the landlord (I know this because my grandfather then uncle was a landlord of a place).

AGreed with above.
She is probably hoping to scare you into paying rent.
She will have to take you to court to try to get the money and just make sure you keep her letter stating she won't let you out since it proves she got your letter giving her 30 days notice.

With mine (cause I was dealing with a crazy bitch). I even got a PO Box for two months. I had all my mail sent there instead of the new house. I didn't want them to know where I moved to.

Can't wait to be out of this apartment. I am also looking forward to living in a house for the first time in my life.
(No joke. Grew up in apartments. Mom and step dad bought their house long after I moved out of my mom's.)

Not much else going on. A lot of colds and stomach bugs going around.

Working on my incubator design....

People really should be more careful what they email me as a response to a craigslist post.

Oh, you don't think I deserve to walk the Earth because I don't like dogs?
And third shift is "usually for dummies?"

Enjoy the porn newsletters you subscribed too. Dumbass.

(Yes, sometimes I can be childish and vindictive, but you know what? Fuck em. They started it.)

Who the fuck would say that stuff in the first place, what an ass
It's ok to be childish and vindictive. Most of these fucking idiots deserve something more like a bullet to the head.
bringyouhell:
And to think, I just thought third shift suited insomniacs best this whole time. whatever

People on craigslist are generally stupid, I've given up on using it for anything more useful than laughing at some of the silly crap that gets posted.

I may have come up with an incubator design that will change how reptile enthusiasts build "do it yourself" incubators.

Question answered.

Landlord texted me today saying that she has someone coming to look at the place tomorrow at 4pm, so she saw the letter and actually listened to me when I said I prefer to not be contacted.

I was so ready for a show down.
I did not want one, but I was prepared.

Now we just cut ties cleanly and done.

And to add to the pile of fucked up shit that is my landlord and downstairs neighbors...

a "friend" of mine (we are friendly, but don't hang out a lot) lives downstairs.
So it's the landlord, Jamar (friend), Brenda (his son's mother/ex/possible current gf....I have no clue) and their 4 year old son.
Well...it came up on my Facebook feed that she is 20 weeks...

$42 vet visit. 2 weeks worth of steroids for Eddie (one a day) and observation to see how that works.

4 hours of watching my step dad work on Christine's car.
Ford Focus...don't ever get one.
He had to remove the passenger side drive shaft to have enough room to remove the old alternator and put the new one in.
At least it's fixed, and...

Well, my landlord got the letter today saying that we are leaving, and actually didn't call me.
I told her in the letter that I do not wish to be contacted because there is nothing to discuss, so...
but I did not expect her to actually not contact me.

Then again, a cop showed up today to serve her papers...not sure what, but papers...so who...

frown bummer man. I'm always wishing the best for you and your lady.

Sounds like your sense of timing is spot on.
Thankfully you'll be out of there before whatever she was served comes to the light of day.

Last night I gave Eddie wet food and was able to prop him up so he could eat it. He stayed and slept like that.
This morning I went to give him more, and he tried to walk over to me. Considering yesterday he could not do ANYTHING...
Looks like whatever it is...is responding to the steroids, so...that may be the path we head down....

Great way to spend the first day of a new year...
Took Eddie to the emergency vet in Avon because he is locked up so bad he can't move...and peed all over the blanket he was sleeping on last night.
The vet...has no clue what could be wrong with him.
So they gave him fluids because he is dehydrated, and a steroid shot. We are...

Too bad, I understand your frustration. They never seem to know what's wrong without a multitude of tests which ends up costing you big money. The only thing I can suggest is to take it one test at a time. IE, I let them do the first one, then get results and see what they think. Only then will I consider a second one etc..
hemi:
frown sorry babe. I hope everything gets better for you.

Going around the apartment and gather evidence in case she decides to take us to court for breaking the lease.

This is one of my favorites...
The skylights that were torn out and boarded over.
Link to video

No judge in their right mind would side with her...and this is just ONE of many things. I also have video evidence of the noise we deal...

It is total bullshit that the law in CT says a landlord only has to keep a place at 65 degrees.
You can get hypothermia in 65 degrees.

4 more days and we can start moving out.
